Good movies that are not hugely advertised

icyprincess SG

Know any movie that is not so popular (as in not hugely advertised) but when you go catch it, it turns out to be surprisingly good?

Equilibrium.

the movie was very low budget, advertisement was non existent. In fact it was only shown in 300 cinemas in the entire world. thats like how many percent of all the cinemas?

the movie was very well done despite its low budget and time constraint. it has some plot holes and the director had no time to edit(probably because of movie companies giving him Shit). but other than that the movie kicked ass.

yeah there was..ages ago..not sure that it was'nt hugely advertised though.

*cracking my brain to think of one....will post later. Mr. Green

i agree. this is VERY VERY good.

irony is...
I watched equilibrium dubbed in THAI when i was in a remote hill tribe village in the middle of the hills in chiang rai. one of the kids rented the movie Neutral

talk about lack of publicity.

after that, i went all over thailand and couldnt find a copy of the movie. i still havent been able to.

I still havent watched DISC 2!!!!!!!!

It's my favouritest movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its the most romantic, intellectual and wonderful movie i've ever watched
i've watched it at least 5-7 times.
its so mellow, beautiful bossa nova music
so soothing
great great great dialogue.
so meaningful
so beautiful in its romance
oh god.. the whole thing makes a person calm and peaceful

i love it.

its the indie version of sliding doors plus 10 times more intelligent and positive.

ok ok maybe not sliding doors. english version of turn left turn right but it was BEFORE turn left turn right came out

Dunno any of you have watched it before or not...

Phantasy SG

Personal favorite’s gotta be Memento. Such an innovative and intelligent film and forces the audience to actaully think hard to understand the plot. After watching it once, i can guarantee that you’ll need to watch it again to clear all your doubts.

Kismet SG

Yeah this was a good movie. Very Happy
Interesting storyline that reveals the ending first and then goes back in time.

Lingos SG

Watched to death.
It was very popular actually. i think it's already screened on free to air tv in australia. Actually yeah it is.

Lingos SG

Alamak icy.. this is like australian icon man. hhaha...

Lingos SG

I thought these were big time movies.
I mean...

Robert Rodriguez starring Quentin Tarantino!!
Platoon and Natural born killers... Oliver Stone?? Does he need any introduction?? Plus natural born killers written by Quentin Tarantino.. I remember this movie coming out.. it advertised itself through the violence and stuff. And Woody Harrelson was a bigtime actor then.
